Most likely correct that he jumps on the long-term deal instead of waiting a year, and risking it, all for a few extra mil a year. I think he's worth something along the lines of 5 years 80-90 million, if he's able to get the extra year. If not, 4 years 65-70 million sounds good to me. 16-18 a year, though the numbers being floated appear to be 14-16. Regardless, he's gonna do just fine for himself, and deservedly so.

I really hope it's back in Denver, as they will be contenders yearly for the foreseeable future, and LeBron ain't getting any younger. But, it's possible that he may have to choose between less money on a championship caliber team, a la Denver, or the bigger payday on a team that may be a tier below the top squads.

Though his addition to a team like Portland could put them right in the mix with the legit contenders. Dallas would be a nice spot to land as well, but right now they don't have the cap space for it. I would almost rather see him there with Luka, and KP than Denver, but any of 'em is a solid fit. Hell, he could be the missing piece that helps put one of them over the top. As long as it's not Minnesota, Sacramento, or the Suns. Even though Phoenix has a decent young nucleus. We shall see.

For selfish reasons I'd love to see him in NY, but for his well being, I hope not. Either way, it's awesome to finally have one of our own, other than Melo obviously, develop into an all-star caliber player. Couldn't happen to a nicer, more deserving guy either.
